Regenerative business isn’t a theory anymore — it’s happening. And one of the clearest proofs of that just landed in my hands.   Over the last two years, Shirin Groß-Yachkaschi, together with colleagues from the Gilde Agile Organisationsentwicklung e.V., have done something extraordinary: they spoke with regenerative pioneers across Germany — founders, leaders, researchers, practitioners. Shirin distilled their lessons, patterns, and practices into a remarkable new book:   "Die Regenerative Organisation"   I’ve had the privilege of speaking with Shirin for years now, including at Berlin Hub for Regenerative Business gatherings, and every single time I’m struck by the same thing: she goes deeper than almost anyone I know. Not just intellectually, but personally — in how much this topic matters to her, and how seriously she treats the responsibility of capturing it well.   And the result shows.   This book makes one thing undeniable: 👉 Regenerative business is already a living reality in Germany. Today it may be islands of sanity in an extractive economy — but in the future, it’s going to be the other way around: islands of extraction inside a regenerative economy.   What Shirin has created is far more than a book. It’s a practical guide. A map. A mirror. A “you don’t have to guess anymore” resource for leaders who want to build organisations that truly contribute to life — socially, ecologically, culturally, and economically.   And it sits beautifully alongside other essential German-language contributions: • The Stellar Approach (TheDive / Simon Berkler and Ella Lagé) • Re:think Sustainability (Stephan Grabmeier) • Regenerativ Wirtschaft (Jan Schmirmund 💡🌱 ) …all showing in different ways that regeneration is not some distant vision — it’s fully doable today.   So the question is no longer “Is it possible?” Nor even “How do we do it?” The real question is: What do we need — individually and collectively — to choose this path now? For our businesses, our cities, our economies?   If you’re a leader in the German-speaking world, curious about regenerative business or searching for a grounded way to begin: 👉 Buy this book : https://lnkd.in/eNbh69uJ 👉 Follow Shirin. 👉 Let her work support your next step.   This is how we turn islands of sanity into the new normal.   ------------- Hi, I’m Mike — co-initiator of the Berlin Hub for Regenerative Business and co-founder of Purpose+Motion.
